Abstract
We report on the preparation, characterization, and foaming behavior of cellular polymers based on 1-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (VP) and methyl methacrylate (MMA). Samples with different feed ratios proportions of VP and MMA were prepared following the bulk radical copolymerization procedure, using commercially available monomers and testing two different initiators (photochemical and thermal), obtaining solid samples of around 1.5 mm thick. To evaluate the polymerization process, the chemical structure of VP/MMA copolymers was determined by proton nuclear magnetic resonance measurements. In a second step, single-batch supercritical carbon dioxide (CO2) foaming tests were carried out at different temperatures to evaluate the influence of the VP to MMA feed ratios and the foaming temperature in the density, the presence of solid outer skin, the CO2 sorption–desorption process, and the cellular morphology of the foamed polymers.
期刊介绍:
Cellular Polymers is concerned primarily with the science of foamed materials, the technology and state of the art for processing and fabricating, the engineering techniques and principles of the machines used to produce them economically, and their applications in varied and wide ranging uses where they are making an increasingly valuable contribution.
Potential problems for the industry are also covered, including fire performance of materials, CFC-replacement technology, recycling and environmental legislation. Reviews of technical and commercial advances in the manufacturing and application technologies are also included.
Cellular Polymers covers these and other related topics and also pays particular attention to the ways in which the science and technology of cellular polymers is being developed throughout the world.
